What Causes the Squeaking Sound When Pressing the Brake Pedal?
1 Answers
The squeaking sound when pressing the brake pedal is caused by an incorrect contact angle between the brake pads and the brake disc, or it could be due to the recent replacement of new brake pads. The brake is a mechanical braking device that can slow down the vehicle, also known as a decelerator. The car brake pedal is located below the steering wheel. Pressing the brake pedal causes the brake linkage to be compressed and transmitted to the brake pads on the brake drum, which then clamp the brake disc, slowing down or stopping the vehicle. The manual brake in a car is located next to the gear shift and is connected to the brake lever. Another common type is the bicycle brake, which slows down the bike through rod-shaped brakes fixed on the frame or disc caliper brakes.
